First Time Listening to Death's Individual Thought Patterns!!!!

[@xiweinx]

My favourite Death album. Some serious insane musicianship there.

[@jmetalhead17]

The more times I hear each song I appreciate them even more. Mind-blowing stuff as always!

[@xiweinx]

OR, the La Veuve et Le Martyr, the playthrough version.

Gene once told the story of Andy in this album....they were waiting for him,(his hometown IS denmark),and he was already late for the recording,and when he arrived he learnt the riffs in less than a day....all the guys were amazed

[@jmetalhead17]

That is an awesome story! The talent level for sure shows through on this album. Everything is just so tight and in the pocket!

[@sadistdog]

There’s no damn way he learned them all in a snap- I mean, I don’t know how good the guy is but you gotta be pretty damn talented to learn Overactive Imagination in just a few hours…

Best Death album imo, both vocally and musician wise.

[@nicolastambuyser3822]

I love Death, been a fan ever since '95 I saw them at a small death metal festival in Belgium, they had Gorefest on the bill, the band I really came to see but Death blew me away that night. saw them live two more times after that and got all their records after that show. He was always so intense live

[@jmetalhead17]

That's such a cool story! Seeing them in the Symbolic era must have been like seeing gods on stage!

[@nicolastambuyser3822]

@@jmetalhead17 I remember arriving at the venue early and hearing them soundcheck, and being like they sound amazing

[@binkywarren21]

You're the first I've heard to emphasize the uniqueness and importance of Chuck's vocal delivery. The vocal accents were the first thing I noticed many years ago when I heard Human. Good job. 😁

[@crynightbcn]

Chuck's solos are impressive but Andy's are from another world, they give it a special atmosphere 🤘

[@mocthezuma]

Hope you keep going with the discography. My two favorite Death albums are coming up next.

[@jmetalhead17]

It's been a messy fight. I had Symbolic uploaded and then it got taken down after days of being public... It's reuploaded in two parts now!

[@josefranciscogonzalezfonta6652]

Best line up i have ever seen in a death metal band

[@jmetalhead17]

Seriously! Between Gene and Steve mixed with LaRoque from effin King Diamond! Incredible supporting cast. On top of the legendary Chuck Schuldiner holding it down!

[@MetalAtog]

I would say that its the best line-up, at least talento wise, on a Metal album in general, not only Death Metal.

[@Langdon6993]

great reaction! you should do Symbolic next, beautiful album full of amazing songs.

[@jmetalhead17]

That's the plan! I am seriously looking forward to hearing the album because of how highly regarded it is!

[@leiguo5124]

@@jmetalhead17 Yes it's the another step of evolution legendary DEATH features another talent guitarist BOBBY

[@arikkthorn]

I love when people who appreciate Metal always find other bands to groove to. I did that myself years ago. Lotta great bands out there if people willing to seek them out.

[@jmetalhead17]

100% Enriching oneself in metal is good for the soul

[@ericv7720]

My friend did the liner notes for the reissue. Personally not the Death album I listen to most often, but it did move the needle on technical death metal, and is considered a classic.

[@nintendad1166]

This is my favourite Death album. It combines melody, brutality, technique, and lyrical content all in perfect measures. Important to note that Andy LaRocque was hired on this album and layed down some amazing lead guitar work as well. I've been a fan since the early 90s, and I agree with you that ITP gets overlooked b/c it's sandwiched between Symbolic and Human which are far more known albums.

[@jmetalhead17]

This album has fallen heavily into favor for me. Absolute perfection from a stacked lineup

[@koanikal]

Been listening to this album for 30 years, and it never gets old.

[@jmetalhead17]

I can't say I've been on it that long haha, but it sure as hell hasn't gotten old

[@chrisb2942]

This is my facorite Death album. Gene and Steve rocking the show. I also like the jammy, almost jazzy ambient (for metal).

[@jmetalhead17]

The two of them are as lockdown as they come!

[@leiguo5124]

I swear and promise you will finally be shocked by the upcoming 2 albums SYMBOLIC and THE SOUND OF PERSEVERANCE into screaming and tears.....😂😂😂

[@jmetalhead17]

I am so excited! The hype around those albums is getting me pumped

[@bananaman9226]

Your voice is also way louder then the music I suggest lowering your voice volume somehow and also increasing the volume of the music

[@voorheesjason3161]

Blesses for this my bro ✨️🙏✨️

[@arikkthorn]

Chuck and Andy LaRoque had a great chemistry together on this album. To bad they never repeated .

[@renedesruisseaux819]

Favorites album of Death , Jealousy Favorites song , guitar solo , drum , bass all great

[@jmetalhead17]

Jealousy is a standout on this album imo too! Great album top to bottom!

[@Citizen_JQP]

For me, ITP and Symbolic are my personal favorite. However, there isn't a Death album I do not enjoy from start to finish. RIP Chuck

[@jmetalhead17]

Every album is top to bottom incredible. I think anyone's pick for best is valid for that reason

[@paulooliveira3453]

Death is my favorite Death Metal band, the only Death Metal band that really makes my eyes shine, my heart races. Quite a test that master Chuck Schuldiner passed away prematurely due to cancer. Metal legend, for me he is Death metal's greatest icon.

[@jmetalhead17]

Such a tragedy not being able to see what else he would accomplish

[@martibear793]

в первый раз я их услышал в 1994...мой мозг был просто взорван. это было НЕЧТО... Чувак, я тебе завидую

Regards From Poland!

[@jmetalhead17]

Thank you! Much love!

[@isopropyltoxicity]

Check out to forgive is to suffer if you haven't yet its one of my favorite chuck solos it's insane

[@jmetalhead17]

It's actually the one song I've heard off of The Sound of Perseverance! It's so insane! And yeah Chuck's solo is gnarly!

[@JorgeMartinez-pl7sy]

Second solo aint Chuck,si Andy la rocque from King Diamond

[@jmetalhead17]

Oh I had no idea, I knew he played on the album but sometimes it's hard to tell who which is. Maybe I'll stop guessing hahah.

[@MetalAtog]

​@@jmetalhead17usually half of the solos were by Chuck and the other half by the other guitarrist, in this album its Andy LaRocque from King Diamond, a banda I highly recommend if you don't know them.

[@MoveitorLoseit2]

How were you unaware of these classic albums? I figured you would have at least heard "the Philosopher" before, because it's the single from the album and there is a music video for it.

[@jmetalhead17]

I had not. But it was kind of on purpose. I took a small sample size and tried to avoid some of the more popular tracks just to save more fun for the album listen through.

[@kreator475]

🤘👊🤘

[@PbertPimpin]

That opening track is always hair raising

[@voorheesjason3161]

It's the most savage Death album imo ... Chuck's vocals and lyrics just rip souls out of bodies like Death's own scythe. Try and do a " Top Ten " of Death tracks ... you can't 😂

[@tortoisejohnny7227]

Love Death Check out Disincarnate - Dreams of the carrion kind

[@FFF502]

Andy LaRocque lead guitar

[@ShapeshifteR-TheAnomalyGameCat]

Ugh. This is the "remaster", i very much prefer the original recording as the snare sounds awful here. I recommend you listen to that one! Great album nonetheless, Human-Individual-Symbolic are my unholy trinity. Hard to put one above the other, all pure gold!

[@jmetalhead17]

Yeah all the versions on the streaming services are the remastered one. I guess I will have to go find the OG version on KZbin or something. And those three albums were just peak Death, can't agree more

[@ShapeshifteR-TheAnomalyGameCat]
